7:01 am
-- shocking. >> bonkers. >> i like that word, bonkers. an interview you've never seen in the history of the royal family. oprah's going to joining us live this morning with some new clips that did not air last night. >> it is also international women's day. we'll have nobel peace prize winner malala yousafzai announcing her new project. plus, stacey abrams and janelle monae share an urgent message on voting rights. >> there is other news. first, today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> i am concerned for my mental welfare. and people going, yes, yes, it's disproportionately terrible to what we see out there to anywhere else. nothing was ever done. >> reporter: one bombshell after another in harry and meghan's highly anticipated interview with oprah winfrey. >> please explain how you literally, a prince, how you were trapped. >> trapped within the system. my father and my brother, they are trapped. and i have huge compassion for that. pass. >> the senate approved a $1.9 trillion relief bill. if the bill passes through the
7:02 am
house it then goes to the president. >> this plan will get checks out the door starting this month. andrew cuomo said again he will not resign. >> five women have accused cuomo of inappropriate behavior. >> it was not just a hug. it was an intimate embrace. >> reporter: explosions killed at least 20 people at a military barracks in guinea. more than 600 others were hurt. all that -- >> a big win for the houston cougars -- at the buzzer -- hoe scored! it's good! and all that matters -- >> the nba's all-star game in atlanta one day with everything crammed into it. the skills challenge, the dunk contest, three-point shoot-out, and the game -- >> what's he thinking about here -- all over. on "cbs this morning." >> i want to say, first of all, to say congratulations. >> thank you. >> for the new addition to your family. is it a boy, or is a girl?
7:03 am
>> you can tell her. >> i can -- >> no, no. >> it's a girl. >> a girl. you're going to have a daughter. this morning's "eye opener" is presented by progressive -- making it easy to bundle insurance. that's a good way really to start because despite all of the heaviness of last night's interview and the seriousness and all the emotions, to say there was great news, she's pregnant with a baby girl. >> going to be a girl dad. >> i was going to say, that's where the good news ended for the royal family. >> i know. >> whatever they thought it was going to be, it was worse. >> that's the thing, tony, i don't know what people thought but nobody was expecting that. nobody was expecting that. here's another word to add to the list of how you describe last night, and we'll begin with there -- explosive. the explosive interview touched on so many issues including race, mental health, and what appears to be a deep rivet in -- rift in the royal family. prince harry and meghan were quite candid and emotional as they spoke with oprah in their first major interview since stepping down from royal duties. in order to tell what they say
7:04 am
is the real story, the couple also had to address what they call is a false reporting of tabloid newspapers, starting with a widely reported rumor about meghan, that she made her future sister-in-law kate middleton cry. that was a week of harry meghan's wedding. >> you say the narrative with kate it didn't happen? so specifically, did you make kate cry? >> no. >> so where did that come from? was there a situation where she might have cried? or she could have cried? >> no, no. the reverse happened. >> you knew all along, and people around you knew that that wasn't true. >> everyone in the institution knew it wasn't true. >> why didn't somebody say that? >> a good question. >> reporter: speaking to oprah the duchess of sussex described a world that left her isolated and feeling trapped. >> i remember people within the firm would say you can't do this because it will look like that. you can't -- so even can i have lunch with my friends? no, you're oversaturated, you're
7:05 am
everywhere. i said, i've left the house twice in four months. i'm everywhere, but i am nowhere. and from that standpoint, i continued to say to people, i know there's an obsession with how things look, but has anyone talked about how it feels? because right now i could not feel lonelier. >> reporter: loneliness along with an onslaught of negative headlines that the palace would not refute and that meghan markle insists were false led to thoughts of suicide. >> i just didn't -- didn't want to be alive anymore. that was a very clear and real and frightening constant thought. and i remember -- i remember how he just cradled me, and i was -- i went to the institution, and i
7:06 am
said that i needed to go somewhere to get help. i was told that i couldn't. that it wouldn't be good for the institution. i share this because there's so many people who are afraid to voice that they need help, and i know personally how hard it is to not just voice it but when you voice it to be told no. but we had to go to this event. and i remember him saying i don't think you can do and i said i can't be left alone. >> because you were afraid of what you might do to yourself? >> and we went, and that -- >> i'm so sorry to hear that. >> reporter: the couple also shared with oprah that when they were expecting their son archie the palace brought up his title and security detail. >> there was months when i was pregnant all around the same time so we have in tandem the conversation of he won't be given security, he's not going
7:07 am
to be given a title, and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born. >> what? >> and -- >> who -- who is having that conversation with you? what? >> so -- >> there's a conversation -- hold up. stop right now -- >> there's several conversations about it. >> there's a conversation with you -- >> with harry. >> about how dark your baby is going to be? >> potentially and what that would mean or look like. that was relayed to me from harry. >> oprah asked prince harry about that discussion when he joined the interview. >> what was that conversation? >> that conversation i'm never going to share.
7:08 am
but at the time, the time it was awkward, i was a bit shocked. >> could you tell us what the question was? >> no. i'm not comfortable with sharing that. >> they say it was that lack of support that ultimately led them to step away from royal life. >> do you think you would have left or ever stepped back were it not for meghan? >> no. the answer to your question is no. >> you would not have? >> i wouldn't have -- i wouldn't have been able to because i myself was trapped -- >> please explain how you, prince harry, raised in the palace in a life of privilege, literally a prince, how you were trapped. >> trapped within the system. like the rest of my family are. my father and my brother, they are trapped. they don't get to leave. and i have huge compassion for that. >> harry also revealed his family cut him off financially last year.
7:09 am
>> but i've got what my mom left me, and without that we would not have been able to do this. >> okay. >> so touching back on what you asked me, what my mum would think of this, i think she saw it coming and i suddenly felt her presence throughout this whole process. >> so much to unpack there. let's start with this -- if you or someone you know needs resources, there's a help line at 800-950-6264. i'll say it again, 1-800-950-6264. in a real crisis text n-a-m-i to 741741. let's go back to megan. i think we should add the word brave. you could tell oprah was caught offguard when she talked about having suicidal thoughts. that to me was also very new. and i got very choked up just listening to her explain how difficult it is to seek help and then to be told no, no, no, there's nothing we can do. i thought it was brave of her to share that. >> i thought it was interesting,
7:10 am
at that moment, took into consideration that she kept referring to the monarchy as the institution. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> which makes it sound impenetrable. and it appears in many ways it was. >> and to help people how it was, i thought it was remarkable that she acknowledged she had to hand over her passport and id when she became part of the family, when they satraped, you're trapped, think about that. >> there's a part -- i don't know if it was on the air, but even on archie's birth certificate it doesn't say her name. it says her -- her royal highness or something like that, where she talks about her identity being stripped away. it was -- i think it was a real insight as to how it operates and what they were both dealing with. >> yeah. >> well, this interview played in the middle of the night in the united kingdom. so the british public is waking up this morning to big headlines about some of those revealing remarks from meghan and harry. holly williams is outside buckingham palace where the interview has not yet aired, but they do have a thing called the internet. good morning to you. what's that early reaction been there?
7:11 am
>> reporter: there's no official response from buckingham palace so far. they are going to have to answer devastating allegations, including the duchess's claim that she was denied the psychological help she wanted. that will bring back unkrchl memories of princess diana in this country. we heard this morning from piers morgan, a former tabloid editor, and untiring critic of meghan, who described the interview as a, quote, two-hour trata-thon. some tabloids suddenly seeming to take a much more settympathe approach. when the interview airs this evening it could shift public opinion. the accusation that meghan faced racism from another royal is immensely damaging. the royal family is supposed to work for everyone. a spokesperson for the british prime minister boris johnson said he had not seen the interview but that racism has no place in this society. >> holly williams in london,
7:12 am
thank you, holly. cbs news royal contributor tina brown joins us now. tina, good morning. some people described the relationship between the royal family and harry and meghan as all out war before this interview aired. it must be nuclear now. how damaging is this to the royal family? >> it's kryptonite. it's kryptonite. i mean, this is a hand grenade that has been thrown, you know, into the heart of the institution. and it's immensely damaging, and i really think it's extremely hard for them to refute a lot of the things that they said. you know, they -- they issued a statement saying this will recede into the mists of time. i don't think so. i hink we're going to be talking about this interview for 20 years. by the way, let's all bow down to the real queen here who is oprah. >> yes. >> what an extraordinary interview that was. it was just -- for the history books. >> the last interview regarding
7:13 am
the royal family i think that most people remember like this, of course, was the interview with diana in 1995. which was also a hand grenade in its own way. how do you compare them? >> well, i think that the echoes of diana are in this whole situation, is extraordinary. >> yeah. >> i mean, once again, you know, diana married a dream, and it turned out to be the scream, right? and it's the same with meghan. and the interview that diana did was also, as you say, explosive. there were differences, however, which is that diana was really a child when she married charles. so i think that one of the only questions that i really have for meghan is just what kind of, you know, misunderstanding did she really have about joining the royal family because as an actress, you would think that she would prepare for the role even, you know. >> yeah. >> and it was all out there to know because history has
7:14 am
repeated itself as prince harry has said. but of course, the whole abhorrent issue of the racism charge that she made, it was so ugly that i think it kind of overcomes everything else. >> how -- >> that is going to be the damaging aspect for the royal family here. >> how does the palace answer that, tina? >> i don't know how the palace can honestly answer that because the person of concern isn't named so it's impossible to say, no, somebody did not say that. but clearly the level of distress that this couple felt was so intense that there was a failure in that system to understand, recognize and deal with it. we saw that before with diana. i was puzzled at certain moments, it almost sounded like the saudi royal family, quite honestly. it's hard to imagine that she would be told, meghan would be told that she can't see her friends. i know members of the royal family see their friends all the time.
7:15 am
also reaching out for a psychiatrist, i mean, harry had had therapy himself for quite some years. it's -- you know, the level of apparent sort of insensitivity to that problem was just really surprising and upsetting, frankly, to hear. frankly, to hear. and what they're going to say about that will be interesting. >> yeah. it will be very interesting indeed. tina brown, thank you such for being with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. ahead in our next half hour, we have exclusive never-before-seen moments from oprah's interview, and oprah will join us with her reactions in her first interview since the special aired. in other news, yep, there is other news, congress is close to finishing president biden's top priority, that giant coronavirus relief package. the senate passed the $1.9 trillion with a "t" dollar bill on a party-line vote on saturday. the house still has to vote on it. ed o'keefe is at the white house with more ontomorrow.
7:16 am
but here at the white house, they're not resting on their laurels. no sense of complacency here as they prepare for passage of this. absolutely no room for complacency where the instructions to staffers over the weekend as they prepare to implement the legislation. a reminder that it includes those long-awaited $1,400 stimulus payments for many americans. the president says eligible americans should be getting those payments later this month. there's also some provisions you may not realize including an expansion of the child tax credit for a year of up to $3,600 per child, and one of the biggest changes to the affordable care act in years, $34 billion goes to expand obamacare subsidies, meaning more people will be able to buy health care on the exchanges, and others will have lower insurance premiums. there's also relief for restaurants and concert venues that have been struggling during the pandemic. there's been no republican support for this legislation as of yet. and that's a rough sign for bipartisanship in washington. if you can't get it for financial relief for the pandemic, will the president be
7:17 am
able to get it for his other priorities like infrastructure spending, combating climate change, immigration reform? we'll have to wait and see. >> an open question, but the bill could help a lot of people. thank you so much. jury selection for the fired minneapolis police officer accused of killing george floyd is due to begin this morning. derek chauvin was caught kneeing on floyd's neck for around nine minutes during an arrest last memorial day already. floyd's death led to widespread protests demanding police reform and racial justice. protesters returned to the streets of minneapolis yesterday, and more are expected at the courthouse this morning. floyd's supporters say there has not been enough positive change since floyd's death. chauvin has entered a plea of not guilty to charges of second-degree unintentional murder and second-degree manslaughter. opening statements in his trial are likely to start in about three weeks. the powerful majority leader of new york state's senate has joined the list of democrats calling for governor andrew
7:18 am
cuomo to resign. cuomo says he won't step down after two more of his former aides accused him of inappropriate behavior. anna list told the "wall street journal" that cuomo, quote, asked her if she had a boyfriend and once kissed her hand when she rose from her desk. karen hinton told "the washington post" that in 2000, cuomo summoned her to his dimly lit hotel room and embraced her after a work event. the governor denies any inappropriate touching of any of his five accusers. he called his interactions with list friendly banter and denied hinton's story calling her a political rival. ahead, we'll have more from last night's explosive oprah interview. we'll dig into meghan's claims that the royal family and the british tabloid actually help each other because they need each other to survive. think about that for a
7:19 am
7:20 am
. we have much more ahead. oprah will join us with her take on the interview everyone is
7:21 am
talking about. plus, clips that did not make air last night. they're new ones, including prince harry's story of a family visit with the queen called off at the last minute. yoyou're cleararly someonee whwho takes cacare of yoururs. so whyhy wait to s screen for cololon cancer?? because e when caughght in eay stagages, it's m more treatat. i'm colologuard. i'm nonininvasive anand detet alterered dna in y your stool to finind 92% of c colon cas evenen in early y stag. tellll me more.. it's f for people e 45 plus at aveverage riskk fofor colon cacancer, not high r risk. fafalse posititive and negegae results s may occur.r. ask k your prescscriber or an n online prerescriber if colologuard is s right for . i'm on it.t. sounds likike a plan..

7:29 am
7:30 am
my biggest concern was history repeating itself, and i've said that before on numerous occasions very publicly. and what i was seeing was history repeating itself. more perhaps or definitely far more dangerous because then you add race in and you add social media in. when i'm talking about history repeating itself, i'm talking about my mother. when you can see something happening in the same kind of way, anybody would ask for help. ask the system of which you are part of, especially when you know there's a relationship there that they could help share some truth or call the dogs off, whatever you want to call it. so to receive no help at all and
7:31 am
to be told continuously this is how it is, this is just how it is. >> welcome back to "cbs this morning" and our coverage of harry and meghan's incredibly revealing interview. they repeatedly claim that the royal family did not support them through very stressful times. as holly williams reports, they also peeled back the surface on the hugely significant relationship between the royals and the tabloids. [ cheers ] >> reporter: the british tabloids are obsessed with the royal family because the royal family sells newspapers. >> everybody loved her. honestly, the wedding was fantastic. [ cheers ] >> reporter: but then the british public fell out of love with the duchess according to kelvin mackenzie, the former editor of britain's topselling tabloid paper "the sun." >> i think the way that she is reported is done in a manner which is to make her look back. okay. people want that. >> reporter: meghan's approval
7:32 am
ratings here are eclipsed by the queen, william, kate, and even camilla. but who shaped that public opinion in the first place? >> they're the biggest selling papers across the land, and they are vicious. >> reporter: journalist ayesha tabloids themselves, with headlines ranging from racist to ridiculous. >> there's a bit of a rule which is you should never take the tabloid press on, they're so powerful, they will squash you forever. >> we haven't created this monster machine around us -- >> reporter: that's exactly what the duchess has done with lawsuits, complaints, and now this devastating interview. the royal family, though, relies on the tabloids and their positive coverage to justify their very existence. kelvin mackenzie told us they're now using the media to fend off a threat. >> they were worried that meghan was winning the pr battle, right.
7:33 am
>> i thought -- >> reporter: this is a duchess who won't be cowed with a global audience and some powerful friends. she has stood up to th l thought or the tabloid media. anthony? >> holly williams in london. that's right, they still have not seen this broadcast yet. as we mentioned, we'll be sharing exclusive unaired portions of oprah's interview throughout the broadcast. in this first clip, prince harry discusses how he says racism played a role in the couple's decision to leave the uk. take a look. >> did you leave the country because of racism? >> there was a lot -- it was a large part of it. i remember that the fundraiser
7:34 am
-- >> yes -- >> one of the people at that dinner said to me, please don't -- please don't do this with the media. they will destroy your life. this person is friends with a lot of the editors. i said, so i just elaborate, what do you mean? i knew -- he said, you need to understand that the uk is very bigoted. i stopped and said, the uk is not bigoted, the press is bigoted, the tabloids. is that what you mean? no, the uk is bigoted. i said i disagree. if the source of information is corrupt or racist or biased, then that filters out to the rest of society. >> yeah. >> i think that's so interesting for people to hear, guys, about how closely the tabloids work together with people in the palace who are feeding stories. and they actually feed off each other. it's very incestuous, about the narrative they can paint on
7:35 am
anyone should they choose to do so. >> they need each other. the monarchy afraid if they lose the support of the public they could go away themselves. >> that's right. i don't think people here fully appreciate the degree and the streams to which meghan was covered in england. i mean, it was vicious. >> yeah. the negativity -- vicious is the word. >> what a missed opportunity. the commonwealth is 60% to 70% people of color, britain is a multicultural country, what a missed opportunity. >> in a few minutes oprah will join us live. and we'll have more clips that you have not seen including harry's claim that even the queen is sometimes held back by her advisers. we'll be right back. to b be a thrivever with metasastatic breaeast cancerer means.... grabbibing a holdd of whahat matters.s. askiking for whahat we want. and neneed. anand we need d more time.. so, we wanant kisqali.i.

candid conversation prince harry and meghan had with oprah including some of the moments that did not air last night. oprah joins us now to discuss. oprah, hey. let's pick it up right where we left off before the commercial break. harry wants to make it very clear it seems that he did not blind side the queen. i don't know if you could hear it, the byte where you said doesn't the queen get to do what the queen wants to do? he had made several attempts to see his grandmother. >> yes. and i think that was such an important story to be shared last night. the process of trying to edit this three hours and 20 minutes down to an hour and 25 minutes, i'd said to my team, the most important question to be answered here at the end of this show will be why did they leave. and i think the stories about being blindsided, blind siding
7:48 am
the queen, were very damaging to them and hurtful because they understood clearly that there had been months and months of preparation before they actually moved to canada. and truthfully, there was a statement by the queen, her majesty the queen, on january 18th in which she said following many months of conversations and more recent discussions, i am pleased that together we have found constructive and supportive way forward for my grandson and his family. so the queen on january 18th actually said that there had been months of conversation. but in spite of that, there were still all of those stories about blind siding the queen, blindsblind siding the queen. >> that's why the details are important. the tabloids print stuff they know is false and have been told isn't true. >> oprah, it's also -- the question remains why the queen cannot dictate who she sees and
7:49 am
when she sees them. it seems to come back to something that meghan pointed out early, that there's the family, then there's the institution. you were constantly trying to probe the difference between the two. what did you take away from that? >> i took away from that that there are as harry indicated, there are people surrounding the family who are advisers to the family, who have been there for a long time, and that's a part of the hierarchal structure. and those people have a lot of influence and also input. >> you get a -- you mentioned last night, oprah, that you watched "the crown." i do, too. you get a sense of that in "the crown." there is almost a deep state within the monarchy that runs the monarchy. but i wanted to ask -- we had tina brown on earlier who said this interview is like kryptonite for the royal family. and i'm sure harry and meghan when they agreed to have this
7:50 am
conversation with you knew it was not going to make their relationship with the royal family any easier. why do you think they agreed to do it? >> oh, i think they agreed to do it, wanted to do it, were ready to do it because when you have been lied about for a series of years, i think anybody -- you can understand this if in your own office or in your own family somebody is saying things about you that are not true. and how hurtful that is. or if you're on line and you read the comments from something that somebody has said about you and you continue to see those comments, how hurtful that is. so imagine that for over a period of months and years, and you know that it isn't true. i think the most important thing
7:51 am
for them, you know, before i do any interview, i have a conversation with whoever i'm interviewing and ask, tell me what your intention is, and i will tell you my insense and see if we can align those two. i don't want to finish the interview and at the end say "i wish i had said." >> let's talk about -- let's talk about -- wait, the jaw-dropping moment, the first one, about the color of the baby's skin. and you asked harry about it when he came out. he did not tell you who it was. do you -- did you all have another conversation about it? because that was something that -- there's a big guessing game around the world, who was it, who was it, who was it. i thought it was touching that harry still is choosing to protect the identity of whoever that was. >> yes. and he did not share the identity theft with me, but he -- the identity with me, but he wanted to make sure i knew and if i had the opportunity to share it that it was not his grandmother, nor his grandfather that were a part of those conversations. >> that it was not his
7:52 am
grandmother and prince philip, you said? >> yeah. and his grandfather. neither his grandmother nor grandfather were a part of those conversations. he did not tell me who were a part of the conversations. as you see, i tried to get that answer. on camera and off. >> stay with us. you have more never-before-seen clips including meghan talking about her own family. imagine yourself in a new toyota. ♪♪ yeahah. ♪ yeah. ♪♪ with g great dealsls, get reado tuturn your drdreams into o re. whatat makes an n amazing del eveven better?r? how ababout that e every new toyota c comes with h toyotaca, a twtwo-year or r 25,000 mile nono-cost mainintenance plpn with r roadside asassistanc? ready, set, go get your toyota today.

8:01 am
sorry you felt you had to do that because you felt we were not supporting you? >> no, sadly not. the feeling is that this was our edition, therefore the consequences are on us. and despite three years of asking pore help and seeing or visualizing how this might ended, it was -- i don't know, i just -- it's been really hard because i'm trying -- i am part of the system with them. i always have been. but i guess there is -- i'm very aware of this, that my brother can't leave that system but i have. >> does your brother want to leave the system? >> i don't know. i can't speak for him.
8:02 am
but with that relationship and that control and the fear by the uk tabloids, it's a really -- it's a toxic environment but i was be there for him and be there for my family and as i said i've tried to help them to see what has happened. >> do they think it's a toxic environment or do you all think it's a toxic environment because you're now out of it? >> if we were to have an interview with them or a conversation with them, does your father think it's a toxic environment, a relationship -- >> i think he's had to make peace with it. >> why couldn't you make peace with it? i'll ask that of both of you. >> because this was different, you know. >> different because of the race? >> and social media. >> and social media. different time. different time. >> that didn't exist. it was like the wild wild west, it was spread like wildfire, plus my being american, it translateded in a different way across the pond so you had a
8:03 am
noise level that was very different, but if they can't see that it's different -- >> you felt bullied on an international level. >> look, i think the -- i think the volume of what was coming in and the interest was greater because of social media, because of the fact that i was not just british, and that, unfortunately, if members of his family say this is what's happened to all of us, or if -- if they can compare what the experience that i went through was similar to what has been shared with us, cakate was call waity katie, waiting to marry william, while i imagine that was hard and i do, i can't picture what that felt like, this is not the same. if a member of this family will comfortably say we've all had to deal with things that are rude, rude and racist are not the same and equally you've had a press
8:04 am
team that goes on the record to defend you, especially when they know something is not true and that didn't happen for us. >> you mentioned earlier harry that you were fact by the fact that there has been no acknowledgement by your family that this was different because of race. do you think there ever will be and would that make a difference to you? >> yeah. it would make a huge difference. you know, as i said, there's a lot of people that have seen it for what it was. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> a lot of people. like it's talked about across the world, yet the very people that don't want to see it or can't see it, choose not to see it. >> wow. >> boy, oprah when he said, when meghan said, rude and racist are not the same, i thought that was a very powerful statement.
8:05 am
i'm curious about your reaction, too, your reaction when you saw that is this the other thing i'm hearing chatter bubbling up, if these two want privacisy why are they sitting down with the queen of american television? i think there's a difference between privacy and intrusion. can you talk about that from their point of view and rude and racist? >> well, i thought that was really very powerful and i also, you know, thought that she was gracious when speaking about what happened with kate middleton in terms of, you know, waity katie. they are not the same. i think what anthony said earlier, i don't think the american public understand, we attempted to but weren't really able to show you, what the barrage of daily vitriol and negativity on a regular basis -- on a consistent basis does to
8:06 am
your personal psyche. it wasn't just like a couple of stories. it's a business. >> yeah. >> she's a commodity and an asset to that business, and so what the -- the point they made in the interview that we weren't able to show is that, yes, they want privacy, but they understand that they are public figures. >> right. >> and the privacy is to not be intruded upon. >> right. >> the same thing everybody else in the world wants. there's a difference between privacy and intrusion and being able to have boundaries. yes, you want privacy. you don't want helicopters and people hiding in the bushes, filming your baby outside playing. i think that when people say oh, they're talking now and they wanted privacy, they don't understand that there is a difference between being a public figure who wants to have some boundaries and not to be consistently intruded upon,
8:07 am
versus being private. >> yeah. or and also please tell the truth, i've heard one example of okay, i'll share one photo with you on instagram, doesn't mean i want you to have the whole roll. it was a nonstop barrage of negative press that was not true. >> oprah, i'm curious, there were so many bombshells in this interview. i mean it seemed like one after another. was there anyone that especially surprised you? >> i think the skin tone, the discussions about what color -- what archie's skin tone would be, that surprised me. what also surprised me was, and that's why i clarified, were you just feeling badly, were you feeling sad, or were there actual suicidal ideation thoughts of harming yourself? that also really surprised me. >> oprah, i want to clarify -- >> surprised me that harry said he was trapped. that harry said he was trapped
8:08 am
and when i said how are you trapped if you're in a palace and he came back at me like -- yes. >> i thought it was interesting he added he felt his father and brother were trapped too. >> yeah. he made a point. he was specific but he was there. oprah, we're running out of time. when you say you were surprised by the skin tone conversation, were you surprised that would be true inside the palace or surprised they were telling you about it? >> i was surprised they were telling me about it. >> i mean, i think that's when -- the first jaw dropped for a lot of people. it's generating a lot of conversation. >> even i -- >> yeah. >> on the tape you could hear me go whoa, because i cannot believe you are saying this right now. >> i think it speaks to them talking to you and how comfortable they felt. we'll get more about that too. oprah, stay with us. we're going to take a quick break. when we come back we'll show everyone what meghan said about her father. that was a big, big deal at the time what was going on about meghan and her father at the time of the wedding.

♪ ♪ ♪ small dedecisions mamake a world ofof differencnce. ikea.. ♪ we're excited that oprah is still with us to talk about another exclusive clip from her interview. the duchess of sussex talks publicly for the very first time about her father and her half sister samantha markle and tells oprah how she felt when she found out her dad was working
8:12 am
with the tabloids. >> there was such an obsession about anything in my world, including tracking down my parents, and i did everything i could to pro he text both of them in that media frenzy, but for over a year, the uk tabloids were trying to find my dad, offering people so much money to try to find his address. once they did i remember being told, there was a huge headline like we found him or got him. we're talking about someone's father. from that point the tabloids, they moved into the apartment next door and across from him, descended on this small town, giving him gifts. the whole thing brings us to where we are today. >> did it feel like betrayal when you found out that your father was working with the tabloids? >> i'm just trying to decide if
8:13 am
i'm comfortable even talking about that. it was -- if we're going to use the word betrayal, it's because when i asked him, when we were told by the team this was a story that was going to be coming out, which by the way, the tabloids had apparently known for a month or so and decided to hold until the sunday before our wedding because they wanted to create drama, which is also a really key point in all this, they don't report the news, they create the news, we called my dad and i asked him, and he said, no. absolutely not. and i said, you know, the -- the institution has never intervened for anything for us, but they can try to go in and kill this story, but if they do this once we're not going to be able to use that same leverage to protect our own kids one day.
8:14 am
>> he said no, absolutely not, he hadn't been talking to them. >> yeah. >> he basically lied to you. >> when i said we won't be able to protect our own kids one be day and i need you to tell me and if you tell me the truth we can help, and he wasn't able to do that. that for me has really resonated now as a mother. you know. >> not being able to -- not being willing to protect you. >> and also, me saying just full stop, if we use this to protect you, we won't be able to protect our own children one day, i'm talking about your grandchildren, so i can't -- i mean i look at archie, i think about this child and i go, i can't -- i genuinely can't imagine doing anything to intentionally cause pain to my child. i can't imagine it. so it's hard for me to reconcile that. >> so your father, being hunted down, it seemed like you were saying in some ways they did this to him?
8:15 am
i want you to be able to clarify this, that the tabloids, the media did this to him, they hunted him, but he has a responsibility in it too. >> everyone has accountability. they've hunted my mom down. >> right. >> and you've never -- >> she didn't speak to the tabloids. >> you never heard her say a word. she's remained in silent dignity for four years watching me go through this. >> sa manmantha markle, your ha sister on your father's side has written a supposedly tell-all book about you. what is your relationship with her? >> i think it would be very hard to tell all when you don't know me, and i -- i mean, this is a very different situation than my dad, right. when you talk about betrayal, betrayal comes from someone you have a relationship with, right. i don't feel comfortable talking about people that i really don't know. but i grew up as an only child which everyone who grew up
8:16 am
around me knows, and i wished i had siblings. i would have loved to have had siblings. it's why i'm so excited to be pregnant so archie has one. it was interesting, the last time i saw her must have been be at least 18, 19 years ago and before that 10 years before that. >> so you all weren't close? you didn't grow up together? >> no. >> she doesn't really know you? >> no. she changed her last name back to markle i think in the early 50s at that time when i started dating harry. so i think that says enough. >> the name change does say a lot. oprah is still with us. the other thing that leapt out to me was the way meghan described how her mother had been bearing under this scrutiny with silent dignity and then you contrast that with her father. is she open at this point to having a relationship with her father? i know he's never met archie. >> or harry.
8:17 am
>> i know -- >> or harry. >> or harry. i think -- i haven't really -- i didn't pursue that conversation with them. from what i gathered her relationship with her father is similar to what is happening with prince harry and prince william now, that there's distance there and maybe with time things will get better, but for now, no. >> one of the most striking things to me, oprah, in this conversation was actually about harry's relationship with his father. both meghan and harry were very respectful towards the queen. harry kind of stayed away with the relationship with his brother but acknowledged there was space. he was specific in saying he was hurt and disappointed by his father. were weyou surprised by that? >> i was surprised that he was
8:18 am
open, vulnerable, because we could feel his pain when he was speaking about his father and the moment where he says that 72 members of parliament stood up and nobody in his family did and that hurts. i could feel that he really deeply meant that when i asked him as we just heard in this interview what would it mean to you if someone apologized? you can feel his sadness and i think that what he said in the interview last night about continuing to work on mending that relationship is what he intends to do. but it is very sad. >> you know, the thing that struck me, oprah, i'm not just saying this because we're good friends, but it was so conversational. i thought you were perfection. i felt like we were sitting in the room and we were just sort
8:19 am
of eavesdropping in on a conversation and that takes great skill. i don't know anybody, anybody who could have done this interview and certainly gotten the results they did. i'm wondering if you've had a chance to talk to them how they're feeling today? because there must have been be a lot of anxiety, a lot of stress, a lot of emotion, and it must have been draining for them. do you know how they're feeling now that it's aired and how you're feeling because the night before the interview you didn't sleep and i know you prepared for this and i know there was nothing off limits, i'm curious how everybody is feeling this morning? >> well, i haven't really spoken to them since the interview because we are in different -- >> the time change. >> time zones. yes. i got a text from meghan yesterday saying, how is it going? >> what are people saying, yeah. >> how is it going? because she was putting archie to bed waiting on the west coast
8:20 am

♪ welcome back to "cbs this morning." nobel peace prize winner malala yousafzai and apple are announcing a new partnership today. the 23-year-old advocate for girls' education will be producing content exclusively for apple tv-plus. only on "cbs this morning," apple ceo tim cook tells us she is the perfect addition to their streaming service. in 2014 she became the youngest person to receive the nobel peace prize. she was 17 at the time. after surviving a taliban assassination attempt in pakistan. we spoke to malala yousafzai from birmingham, england, about
8:31 am
her incredible story and very exciting new project. >> when i remember myself as young as 11-years-old looking at myself in the mirror trying to imagine there's a crowd of people that i'm giving a speech, reminding people to speak out for their rights. then i was there at the stage speaking at the u.n., speaking at the nobel peace prize. some people call me the girl who was shot by the taliban. and some, the girl who fought for her rights. and today i just can't believe that i have graduated from university, i have finished my education. >> i look at you and go, wow, you grew up. when did that happen? look at you. >> well, that's my question, as well. >> let's talk about that graduating from university because you graduated from oxford university last year. you couldn't have your traditional graduation ceremony. so how did you celebrate graduating from college?
8:32 am
>> so just like everybody else, i took my exams at home and then graduated at home. it was tough. then you have two younger brothers and a family, and everybody is annoying you and they're coming to your room. >> i think this is funny -- you sound like a lot of 20-somethings. now you're back, still living at home. you have younger issue is er si people are annoying you. >> 100%. i have two younger brothers. one is like 21, the other is 17. sometimes, they their are arguments. in the end, you know, we resolve all those fights. when you have brothers at home and you're the only sister and you want to make sure that your brothers learn about women's rights and equality, you have to show that leadership in your house. i want to make sure that my brothers respect my values, my rights, and my opinion, and they need to treat me as a human. >> for malala yousafzai those values are the center of her work at louisia malala fund, ths down global barriers for girls
8:33 am
and their right to education. >> we are every girl, wants to learn and live in peace -- >> today she's announcing an exciting new partnership for her next chapter. >> i'm very excited for this next project that i'm starting. i will be producing with apple tv-plus and will be creating content that includes comedy and tv shows and documentaries and movies, and i am really excited for this part of my journey because it will help me to reach young women and girls. >> people that know you very well say that you have a tremendous sense of humor. >> i love comedy. i'm a big fan of it. i have always liked "tom and jerry." and everybody knows mr. bean. there's a sense that entertainment tv is bringing into our lives. recently when i was watching a show on apple-tv ted lasso. >> i thought tea would taste like hot, brown water. >> he was reminding me of my
8:34 am
dad. >> how did you decide that you wanted to partner with apple? >> i have met tim cook in person, and i know how passionate he is for women's rights, equality and education. and tim like -- i have met so many people who say nice things but don't follow up. but tim was just very different. he literally like started supporting malala fund. >> the admiration is mutual. apple ceo tim cook spoke with us about his working relationship with malala yousafzai over the years. >> the apple tv-plus for us is a platform for very impactful and creative storytellers that really want to connect with their audience and change the world in the process. and there's no better example of that than malala. >> what was your first impression of her? >> i met malala back in 2017. you know what i found was someone wise beyond her years. and i was -- i was all in. i wanted to work with her. >> yeah. you also traveled with her on the road. >> we went to beirut together.
8:35 am
and i saw firsthand how the malala fund was helping girls, syrian refugees. and i saw how malala interacted with them and inspired them and lifted them up. it was one of the most moving mee meetings of my life. >> you and tim cook seem to have formed a unique friendship. >> tim has been, you know, a mentor, a supporter, and i still can't believe like this is happening. >> hard work, malala, does not seem to scare you. since we know you work hard, i would like to know how you play. i heard this -- tell me if this is true -- that if you were stranded on a desert island the soundtrack you would like to bring is "phantom of the opera." is that true? >> yes, "phantom of the opera." i'm a big fan of musicals, "hamilton" to "phantomthe opera." >> we met you through tragedy. it's because of your courage, really your courage and speaking out, that everybody knows your
8:36 am
name, malala. what goes through your mind when you think about that little girl? >> to be honest, when i think about that little malala, i get inspired. she was very strong and courageous, and sometimes i ask -- i still ask for her help. she had a few values that i have still carried with me. things will not change unless somebody, you know, takes a step and makings that change happen. >> you once said this, you will never know who stands with you if you don't stand up first, and i like the message on that. what is your takeaway on this international women's day? >> women must be really proud of themselves. they have worked so hard. women globally standing up for their rights. women are there not just talking about women's equality but they're participating in other movements from climate change to gun control and to all the young girls out there, i will remind you believe in yourself, believe in your voice. and become the changemakers of tis world, the world needs you.
8:37 am
>> the world needs you, malala yousafzai. remember when me with first learned her story, we dent even know how to pronounce her name. now you hear malala, but how great it must be to be inspired by your younger self. >> i love that she asks her younger self. things she said, "i love comedy, i love "tom and jerry." >> and justin bieber. i asked does the phrase prime minister malala yousafzai have a ring to it. yes, i want to go to pakistan, i miss my country. she said i'm not thinking about prime minister yet. i have other things to do. i believe that. >> they need her. >> yes. yes. ahead, we'll talk to activist stacey abrams about her powerful documentary on the history of voter suppression. and today's fight for voting rights. and singer janelle monae who

8:42 am
fight for democracy," is shortlisted for an oscar nomination. it examines the long history of voter suppression in america and features a political anthem by musician, actress, and activist janelle monae. after stacey abrams narrowly lost her run for governor in 2018 -- >> this is not a speech of concession -- >> she led the charge against what she saw as voter suppression against people of color in georgia. >> voter suppression has been a part of america since our inception, but we are better than that. >> abrams has since registered more than 800,000 new voters. >> we know that voter turnout is the best remedy to voter suppression. we decided to go after everyone who could vote. you all been out to vote? >> we need everybody out in droves -- >> helping turn the red state of georgia blue for the first time in nearly 30 years. >> now these same politicians who passed these laws want to make voting harder.
8:43 am
>> her voting rights group is currently calling out legislation in georgia that would limit absentee voting, restrict ballot drop boxes, and shorten early voting on the weekends. republican supporters say these measures are meant to protect against fraud, but democrats say they target voters of color. at least 43 other states have also proposed lawsuits that would restrict -- laws that would restrict voting. her new documentary with amazon studios chronicles the ongoing fight to end voter suppression. >> the united states the right to vote is the only right you can lose simply for not using it. ♪ >> the film's theme song, "turn tables," was written by grammy nominated singer/songwriter janelle monae. it's a rallying call for a revolution. ♪ we're kicking out liberation elevation education
8:44 am
i said america use a lot ♪ ♪ the whole world about to testify ♪ >> and as we mark international women's day, a global celebration of the achievements of women and the call to action we are pleased to welcome both stacey abrams and janelle monae. good morning. thank you both for being here. we appreciate it. >> good morning. >> good morning. thank you for having us. >> stacey, let me start with you. we mentioned president biden signing an executive order directing federal agencies to expand voting access. how significant do you think that is, and how may it affect your efforts on the ground? >> it's an important first step, and i'm proud of the president for prioritizing this issue. what we saw on january 6th was not just an insurrection against the u.s. capitol, it was an attempt to roll back the voices of millions of americans. and it is an important and i would say extraordinary thing that the president has done.
8:45 am
but as he pointed out, it's only the first step. we have 43 states that are considering voter suppression laws including my home state of georgia, and we know that if these laws pass and we do not have federal response, the right to vote will be rescinded or rolled back for too many americans who finally have their voices heard in november and again in january. >> republicans say that these laws, these proposed laws that you mentioned, will secure the voting system and fight fraud. what is your response to that? >> three things. one, there is no widespread voter fraud. we have never had a president who made that the center of his agenda, and he failed time and again to demonstrate that there was any widespread voter fraud. and every single secretary of state and governor in these states has supported the integrity of the elections that we just held. number two, they're now using the language election integrity, the same dog whistle they used like voter fraud. the goal to distract us from what they're trying to do, dimber three, to prevent or
8:46 am
ourage eligible americans from casting their ballots because they're afraid that if everyone can participate, they may not win. but our democracy shouldn't depend on the whims of politicians. our democracy should be safe, fair, and effective for every american, no matter where you live. >> all right. janelle monae, hey, hey. stacey abrams calls, you pick up the phone, people pick up the phone. she wants you to write a song. why did you say yes, and what a song you wrote. >> this was an opportunity to protect marginalized communities, protect people like my family, stacey's family, our friends, those who are const constaconsta constantly being bullied. i'm going to keep it playing. the republican party, the republicans are bullies, and they're bullying those who are disenfranchised, who are already having a tough time voicing their -- their power and their, you know, vote. and what i wanted to do was lend
8:47 am
energy to this movement. >> you know the lyric that stuck out to me, what you said and the way you delivered it, "america you's a lie." you said it was tough to sing but was cathartic. take us behind your writing process, the message you wanted to put out. >> you know, in order for us to heal as a country and america is the only place that i've known, you know, my ancestors helped build this, i am a proud american. just like stacey is and so many of us. and we have to tell the truth, though. in order for us to heal, in order for us to -- to get rid of systemic oppression, we have to tell the truth. and i think what was most important was to create a song that drew attention to the truth of what is happening in georgia and around the world as it pertains to voter suppression. >> hey, stacey, it's tony here. this is a political issue obviously, but it's not a
8:48 am
two-sides issue because as you point out, there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in this country, and there has not been. there is concern when it comes to turnout and suppression. i'm curious, what's your theory on why politicians broadly, the republican party in general, doesn't seek to take in that wider majority, let everyone vote and get the most they can. and instead tries to fight or restrict access. >> one of the things we talk about in "all in" is that this has been from the inception of our nation a tactic of people in power. and let's be clear, the federalists practiced voter suppression, democrats practiced voter suppression, republicans are now doing it. it tends to happen when a community in power, a party in power doesn't want to give up and doesn't want to lose their position. and you can do one of two things. you can either evolve your beliefs and your ideologies to bring people in, or you can try to shut people out. and the lazy approach is to shut people out. and unfortunately, that's what we're seeing. >> that was the followup i was
8:49 am
going to ask, why don't they evolve their approach. >> there's already a republican group that calls itself stop stacey that is trying to prevent you from running for governor in 2022. i know you've been asked this question repeatedly, i know you'll continue to be asked this question, so here it is again -- are you running? >> my focus right now is making sure we have elections in the united states. and making sure that candidates who want to stand for office have the abilit to talk to voters who believe they can show up to the polling place. we do not have that assurance right now. until we pass h.r. 1, s.r. 1 and h.r. 4, we cannot guarantee access to democracy in the united states. >> stacey abrams, janelle monae -- >> haven't met you -- >> stacey abrams, janelle monae, thank you both. we'll be right back. struggling to manage my type 2 diabetes was knocking me out of my zone, but lowering my a1c with once-weekly ozempic® helped me get back in it. ♪ oh, oh, oh, ozempic® ♪
